| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The development of renewable energy is highly expected in Japan because of the nuclear disaster in Fukushima and the introduction of FIT. But it is assumed that because of the properties of RE, the introduction of RE require such social systems that enable local people to get the benefits of RE for their community development. We call these systems “Regional Management Systems of RE”, and conducted research in Akita Prefecture to clarify conditions for building them.
The research results tell us that the development of RE in Akita is not followed by the social transition toward sustainable community development but by what we call the “industrialization of RE”, which just tries the substitution of nuclear and fossil energy with RE without challenging social transition. We observed efforts by local companies and municipal governments to keep the most benefits within their hands by participating in the management of RE business.
